County drug sweep nets eight arrests

Early Wednesday morning, a group of police officers arrested eight people in Adams County for a variety of drug violations.
Arrest warrants were issued for the operation by the Adams Circuit Court after covert informants allegedly purchased a variety of controlled substances, including methamphetamines, prescription medications, and marijuana.
The nearly-year-long investigation, known as "Operation Morning Light," was conducted by the DETECT Drug Task Force.
